Chapter XXXII: The End of the War
Duke Duozan also smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Cheng means to beat the water dogs while they are escaping, right?" Hehe, at that time, these people just cared about running away, and we didn't kill as much as we wanted! Sikong, Sikong, my dear brother, I thought that if I separated you, Baili would kill you, but what I didn't expect was that you actually killed him. Now, I'll clean you up myself! ”
Cheng Lei couldn't help but feel furious when he heard what he said, this is his own brother, in order to compete for power, they can't wait to skin each other and cramp each other. The small Silver Tower City made them so crazy, what if it was a bigger state city or a federation? I'm afraid the fighting will be even worse there. No wonder the princes of the ancient dynasty did anything for the throne!
"Mr. Cheng, now it can be said that the overall situation has been decided, and I only fulfilled one of the conditions we said at the beginning, that is, I transferred half of the people from the Nancheng Foundry to you. Those people have been with me for many years, they are all honest people with families and businesses, and they are very skilled, and I hope Mr. Cheng can treat them well. Duke Dozan lit a flue-cured cigarette and said slowly.
Cheng Lei nodded: "Well, they are still in our temporary camp, and I sent some people there to protect them." They don't have to worry about their safety, so don't worry! ”
"Well, that's good. There are two other conditions, 40% of the income of Silver Tower City, and I will pay you in gold every month after the situation stabilizes. There are also 5,000 acres of land, I think it would be good for you to destroy the land of the Poison Fang Army in the south of the city, and when the time comes, you will be the owner of that land. ”
Cheng Lei said with great satisfaction: "Your Excellency the Duke, on behalf of the mercenary guards, I thank you, with the base, we have a place to live and work in peace and contentment, thanks to you!" ”
Duke Duozan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Mr. Cheng, don't say that, your contribution to Yinta City, others don't know if I Duozan can't know it?" It stands to reason that these are a bit small for you, but you also know that Silver Tower City is small and has all kinds of organs. There are forces on all sides, and sometimes there are things that even I can't control......"
Cheng Lei said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Duke is serious, we are just doing our best." I think His Excellency the Duke has something to say, so don't bother with it, right? As soon as Duke Duozan spoke, Cheng Lei could see that he was paving the way for his future words, and he had dealt with this old fox a lot, and Cheng Lei was about to find out his details.
Duke Duozan also smiled: "I can't hide anything from Mr. Cheng's eyes, what I want to say is, Mr. Cheng, I also mentioned the matter of our real alliance before, but you didn't agree." Presumably Xiling she also looked for you, in fact, this is what I meant, she didn't reply to me, I think you still refused. ”
"Let's put it this way, I just want to ask Mr. Cheng, you don't want power, you don't want money, and you don't even want a beauty like Xiling, what do you want?"
Seeing that Duke Duozan had already opened the door, Cheng Lei decided not to hide anything: "Your Excellency, you asked me what I wanted, but have you ever thought about it, maybe I don't want anything?" ”
"How is this possible! Is there such a stupid person in the world? Duke Dozan sneered.
Cheng Lei smiled: "I'm such a stupid person, oh, maybe what I want is worthless in the eyes of His Excellency the Duke." What I want is for my brothers to have food and clothing, to have a place for them to marry, to have children, and to start a family. You didn't expect that, right? ”
Duke Duozan's eyes widened and he said, "Mr. Cheng, you are really a powerful leader. Oh no, you are a great chief. That's right, why didn't I think that as long as the hearts of the people are bought enough, what else can't be done? Right, Mr. Cheng? ”
Cheng Lei raised his index finger and shook it, and said solemnly: "Your Excellency, in fact, the most important thing is not this, but feelings, I and my team members, each of them, have indestructible feelings!" Brotherly love! ”
"Feelings? Brotherhood? "Duke Duozan, a person who was betrayed by his own brother for the sake of power, and then his brother turned against him and is still fighting until now, can't understand what Cheng Lei said.
At this time, Cheng Lei said again: "Your Excellency the Duke, you should slowly understand, it has been half a day now, and the remaining rebels are probably already planning to retreat." I'll go to the lookout post to have a lookout, and you tell them to keep an eye on Xilin, and remember to beat the water dogs! ”
"Slow Mr. Cheng, I still have something to say, yes, what I want to say is that after the situation stabilizes, I hope we will still be the most solid allies. Moreover, the interests between us are greater than everything else, Mr. Cheng, what do you think? ”
Cheng Lei stared at Duke Duozan for a while and smiled: "Your Excellency, haven't we always been the most solid allies?" It was, and it always will be! With that, he got up and went to the lookout post on the second floor.
After Cheng Lei left, Duke Duozan's mouth kept chanting: "Feelings, brotherly love!" Hum...... How much can a relationship be worth? In his eyes, feelings are really worthless!
At the lookout post on the second floor of the Silver Tower, Zheng Bin saw Cheng Lei coming up, and hurriedly greeted him: "Old Cheng, hurry up, come and see those guys may be preparing to retreat." ”
Cheng Lei took the binoculars and saw that some of the rebels were still in the position, while the other part was searching for bullets, guns and food. It was indeed a preparation for a retreat, and he also noticed a detail, these people were still buried in the rear of the position.
asked casually: "Lao Zheng, as far as you know, has a mine been invented in this world?" ”
Zheng Bin thought for a while, and was a little uncertain: "I haven't asked for information on this yet, but according to our reports, the great empires of the West have widely used standard wooden-handled grenades, and I'm afraid that mines should also be made!" ”
"Come and see, I'm afraid our Lord Lord needs sappers!" Cheng Lei handed the telescope to Zheng Bin again.
Zheng Bin said while looking at it: "Even if the mine is invented, it will be widely used in the Western Empire for a long time before it will be transmitted to the East. It's probably too early to conclude that they are laying mines, right? ”
"If you're not afraid, you're afraid of 10,000! Although our people have professional skills in all aspects, they have basically no training in real mine clearance, which is a blind spot. Remember to make some mines for them to practice if you have the opportunity in the future, and don't catch them blind when they can really use them! ”
Cheng Lei's comprehensiveness of thinking is what Zheng Bin admires the most, what this guy is best at is drawing inferences, and I don't know how he put so many things in his head!
Zheng Bin nodded and agreed, and then continued to stare into the binoculars: "Old Cheng, look, Xilin and they have begun to act, and the rebels have begun to retreat, this Duke of Duozan will really seize the opportunity!" Don't we tell them, are there any mines over there? ”
Cheng Lei took the telescope brought by Jin Hanyang, stared at the movement on the position, and said, "What combat experience is not honed in blood?" Let Xilin and them taste the power, and they can also accumulate a little experience for us, even if there are really mines over there, there are not many mines, don't you see that they only buried them for a while and then finished burying? ”
Zheng Bin glanced at Cheng Lei helplessly, he is like this, he is meticulous care and love for his brothers, and it is their nightmare to the enemy. For an ally like Duke Dozan who is maintained by interests, it is still his own interests first.
Even if they went to tell Duke Dozan, Dozan would definitely ask them for a solution, should they use their own team members to mine Dozan them? Zheng Bin can't do such a thing, no, he can't do it even if he is a fool!
The current moment is the most comfortable time for Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin, watching the competition between the two sides on the battlefield, but they have nothing to do with them, just watching the excitement. At this time, Xilin and Xiling's team had already divided into two ways to the front of the rebel camp, and the remnants of the rebel army were only about a kilometer away from them.
Sure enough, as Cheng Lei expected, the soldiers at the head of Xilin and Xiling all stepped on the mines, and the blown limbs flew sideways, and the people around the deceased were also affected, and several were injured. They also slowed down because of this, probably because they had never encountered such a thing as a landmine, and they had no choice but to use people to test it, and after several more deaths, they finally opened the way to pursue the rebels.
Mine...... Tank...... Plane...... Cheng Lei's mind kept turning, and things that were very familiar in the previous world felt so strange when they arrived here. Cheng Lei couldn't help laughing at himself, being so sad is not his personality, this is Zheng Bin's patent.
"Lao Zheng, Duozan has already demarcated our territory, just where we defeated the Poison Fang Army, a total of 5,000 acres of land. At that time, you have the final say on how to plan and use these lands, and we need to recruit some young soldiers in Silver Tower City, and if we want to develop and grow, it is impossible to do without the replenishment of fresh blood. Cheng Lei looked at the battlefield in front of him and said slowly.
Zheng Bin nodded and said, "I have wanted to tell you about this for a long time, but due to the impact of this war, I don't know if those ordinary people are willing to hand over their children to us." ”
"Then promise the highest military salary, pension and welfare, don't be afraid that no one will sign up, I'm afraid that you won't be able to pick people at that time!"
"We? What about you, why are you going? ”
"I'm a big person, how can I do HR like you! Me, CEO! Haha......"
